To me it's about the space saving. We have a really nice stove, and still have what feels like 234 additional kitchen items that are always in the way. Air fryer, toaster oven, microwave, old Foreman grill, old rotisserie oven, waffle maker, and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few. Need another storage room off the kitchen just for all the shit.
Totally. My wife and I live in an apartment and we've had to make some tough choices. No microwave, no airfryer, no rice cooker, no panini press, regular slim toaster. Turned down my mom's Foreman, even though I love it. French press and Nespresso over bulky machine. Cast iron skillet for everything else. Slow cooker, raclette in cupboard. Margaritaville prominently placed because it rules.
Ah yes, thanks for reminding me we have 2 rice cookers (one for smaller sizes- no clue why!), a slow cooker, propane BBQ (mandatory in suburbs), Charcoal BBQ (were on a road trip and were told the place had them to use- nope!), and I'm sure more shit I can't even think of. I don't even like food that much! Well not food I make anyway.
I keep saying we should do away with our chairs and I'll build benches on top of storage compartments for all this shit. Basically kitchen cabinets set on the floor with a lid and cushions. For that diner feeling at home! Since we have as many fucking appliances as a diner.
My wife keeps watching all those Tiny Home shows and saying we should get one for a vacation house. I just laugh at how many sheds we'd need nearby to house all the shit we don't need.
